Heavenly Oasis
Sailor’s Rest is a dreamy oasis for RR. We loved our time there. Neil and Jinny are wonderful hosts with fascinating travel stories and they exceeded every expectation we had upon arrival. The hubby loved having fresh eggs each morning. The heated pool and sauna were lovely. The location was close to everything we needed…beach, restaurants, breweries, grocery stores. They provide guests with a pass to gain entry to Charleston County Parks which we used several times. The parks are fun for biking and Kiawah County Park on the beach is absolutely gorgeous! If downtown on the peninsula is your scene you can get there pretty easily at most times of the day. Traffic is heavy leaving the Island during normal rush hour times and lunch time. The Angel Oak, just down the street a bit, is a must if you’ve never seen it. Enjoy a little slice of paradise at Sailor’s Rest!

Ginny & Neil, Thank you for sharing your home. It is such a special place and reflects the love and care you have poured into the property over the years. We are thirlled with the peice of art we purchased and will proudly display it in our mountain home in Georgia. Sorry for the invasion of kids. I was not ok with that, and would like to apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused.

I don’t even know where to start. Absolutely amazing place to stay. Ginny and Neil were some of the sweetest people I have met. I wish I’d had more time to talk with them. The property really is a magical place from secret gardens to all the lights at night. If you are looking for a place to stay near Charleston this is your place to go. Thank you for a great week.

Beautiful property in a perfect location
Sailors rest is gorgeous, and the owners are very friendly and courteous. They offered fresh eggs and a full kitchen for those who like to cook, and for those who don't, there's plenty of restaurants nearby that don't disappoint.

Our family had the most wonderful week long vacation at Sailor's Rest. We couldn't have ask for a more beautiful location to spend our vacation. Neil and Ginny were wonderful hosts. Our daughter absolutely loved feeding the fish, feeding the chickens and of course the pool was her favorite. They made several recommendations for places to visit and eat and they were all amazing! We would recommend this location to anyone looking for a great getaway in Charleston.

We loved everything about this place!! Ginny and Neil were great hosts.The pool, the gardens and the fire place were great. So much creativity in one place! It was close to beaches ( the park pass was great) and about 25 minutes to downtown charleston! We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful paradise
This location was amazing for our family. Quiet peaceful area that had things for our kids to enjoy. From the tree house area, the pool, and the Koi pond, our kids loved every second. The kiawah beach was a fabulous spot for us to go. Not busy at all and the owners at Sailors rest have a parking pass to get into it. We loved our week in paradise that Ginny and Neil shared with us!

Wonderful vacation
The property including house and grounds are beautiful and very accurately portrayed. We had a wonderful time for our family vacation with our 6 year old. She loved the pool, the chickens, the fish, the swings and so much more. Much love to the hosts for all that they share!
